March 16, 2009 | Selangor, Malaysia – One World Hotel in Selangor, Malaysia will extinguish all its lights for Earth Hour on Saturday, the 28th of March, 2009 at 8:30 p.m., local time. In addition, several other several other cities—big and small—in Malaysia will also switch off their lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is an annual international event created by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/ World Wildlife Fund), held on the last Saturday of March, that asks households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It was pioneered by WWF Australia and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, and achieved worldwide participation in 2008. An estimated 50 to 100 million people around the world switched off their lights for Earth Hour in 2008, and global landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, Rome’s Colosseum, the Coke billboard in Times Square and Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai darkened for one hour.

In 2009, Earth Hour aims to reach 1 billion people around the world in more than 1000 cities involving business, government and the community in the world’s largest global action on climate change on the 28th of March 2009. Millions of people from all walks of life will join together for Earth Hour and show the world that it’s possible to take action on global warming.
